Settings for Physics Interfaces and Coupling Features
The following checkboxes are selected in the Austenite Decomposition interface:
•
Compute effective material properties
•
Enable phase transformation latent heat
•
Enable transformation-induced plasticity
•
Enable thermal strains
The discretization for the temperature field in the Heat Transfer in Solids interface is set to Linear, because thermal strains are typically linear in the Solid Mechanics interface. The discretization for the magnetic vector potential in the Magnetic Fields interface is set to Linear, as this is often beneficial in induction hardening simulations. A Coil feature is automatically added to the Magnetic Fields interface.
